On the Go

Keeping an extra set of pet supplies in your car might not be a bad idea, particularly if you live in an area prone to disasters like floods and hurricanes. You might find yourself in a situation where immediate evacuation is required, leaving no time to collect supplies from your house. This way, you (and your pet) won't be left empty-handed.
